  • HT1459 my ipod touch 4s won't turn on, reset, charge, and computer won't recognize it

    i was watching videos with my ipod. After a while i realized that my ipod was almost dead on power so when i was about to charge it, it turned off. i turned on and charged it and then i left it charging. when i came back my ipod was off and now it won't turn on even if i reset it or charge it from my pc. help!

    Try a different power outlet, then try restarting your iPod by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

    Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
    In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

  • IPod Touch 5g won't turn on nor charge!

    My iPod touch 5th generation wont charge. I have connected two different lightning cables to the wall and computer, I have pressed and hold the home and power button, It indicates that the cable is connected but nothing happens. I have cleaned the inside of the ipod, still nothing. The iPod it self has not battery what so ever so please dont tell me to reset it and reboot it if the ipod is completely out of juice. Please dont tell me to hold the power and home button and put it into DUF mode if I already did ok? Please let's actually think, understand why it doesnt work, and figure out what to do to solve this problem.

  • My iPod Touch 4G won't automatically connect to any wifi networks and freezes whenever I try to connect manually. What can I do to fix this?

    This has happened once before and fixed itself overnight somehow, but this time it's been over 24 hours and hasn't fixed itself. I can't even check was OS I have as a result. I'm not very tech savvy so I don't know how to fix it at all. This iPod was actually a hand-me-down from a friend of mine.
    I've tried switching it to Airplane Mode in order to turn off the wifi entirely and then switching back but that hasn't helped. What can I do to fix this?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My iPod Touch (3G) won't turn on?

    I've owned my iPod Touch since June 30th, 2010 (a little over a year). I am no longer under the warranty, so I know that if my iPod is broken, I will have to pay. My iPod has been dropped several times, it has cracks in the screen, but the screen hasn't chipped away like others. It's never been dropped in water, so I don't think water is the problem. I'm also positive the headphone jack is broken, as several pairs of working headphones have not worked on it unless a decent amount of pressure is applied. Anyways, back to the major problem. My iPod will not turn on. I'll hold the power and home button, and the apple logo will come up, but it won't take me to the lock screen, it will simply go black again. It won't charge at all, and the only time I can successfully turn it on is when the iPod is "charging". However, the second I unplug it, it goes all black. All help is appreciated!! Thanks!

    Same problem here - Ipod touch 3G won't turn on. I've tried reseting - but absolutely no response and when I try to restore, before it completes the restore, error 1600 comes up. This is my daughter's ipod and we've tried all of this after plugging in to a wall charger overnight and then using a pc and then mac and still nothing. Any suggestions?

    OR use this method
    1. Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen)and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
    2. Continue holding both buttons (Ignore the"Slide to power off") until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.
    3.You may let go when you see the silver Applelogo.
    Thats all Folks!!

  • My ipod touch 4g won't turn on, even if i reset it. If i reset it it just brings up the apple logo for about 10-15 minutes, flashes white, then repeats the before mentioned. Has anyone else had this problem and/or know how to fix it?

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

    Try:

    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPod 5th generation won't turn on and my middle button doesn't work

    My ipod 5th generation won't turn on and my middle button doesn't work! What will I do? It all starmed when I updated iOS 8. It would be fine but would shut down at random, now it won't turn on at all!!! when I press the lock button to turn it on the Apple sign would come up for about 5/10 minutes!! so what will I do???

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  For recovery mode see:

    Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.
